    The search continues for our next location in the Ft Worth area. Looking at the suburbs just north of Ft worth. Once we get things a little closer to narrowed down I can give y'all updates.

    Time to start thinking about our field day event again! After being rained out of our last date in May then getting scorched out of the summer months things will soon (I am told...) start cooling off enough for us to do something outdoors. I've got all the gear in my garage just itching to be used (plus it's taking up lots of space on my garage gym platform).

    Stay tuned for tentative dates. We will likely issue a poll to our members to lock this in.

    In case you forgot invents to include:
    Tug of War
    Heavy Sand Bag Relay Race
    Uphill Hay Bail Roll (think Promethius)
    Shot Put
    Egg Toss
    King of the Joust
    Tractor Pull

    Had the chance to catch up with this fine fellow, Greg. He has been a member since day one in Dallas.

    In case you're wondering about the origin story of the Dallas location check out this video where we talk about how the Dallas gym was selected as the first gym in DFW and the very second SS Franchise gym to open.

    Huge congrats to our team for attending the strength lifting meet at Rip's gym yesterday. We were watching from home base and cheering you guys on. This was the first meet I was unable to attend in quite some time (at least a couple years) but was happy Jordan was there to handle the lifters and carry the torch. Great job everyone!

    It’s finally happening!!! Our first ever FIELD DAY! Huge thanks to Karen and Bill Deloney for hosting. Nov 13th is when we will be having everyone in the DFW gyms out at the ranch.I am super pumped for this event. We had the staff out at their acreage a couple weekends ago to test out the events and while some of these feats of strength are tough they are all pretty dang safe!

    Both the Dallas and the Plano gym will be closed on November 13th for our first annual Field Day. We will pick you up from either the Dallas or Plano gym in an old-school school bus so that we can all ride to the field together in style.

    Combine the nostalgia of that one day of the year in elementary school where you got to be outside ALL DAY doing fun stuff like tug-of-war, three-legged races, and the egg toss WITH elements of strength (tractor pull, heavy sandbag relay race, shot put) and you are looking at one heckuva good time!

    The invitation is extended to both Dallas and Plano members as well as their family and friends.

    Starting Strength Dallas Members:

    Hi Folks! With all of the buzz surrounding our most recent competition where we brought a whole third of the lifters for the entire competition in Wichita Falls we want to capitalize on this momentum and give every member the chance to work up to some heavy singles just like you would for a competition without having to actually go to one. The whole reason behind competing is to have a calendar date in mind where you know you have to perform. So with that thought we would like for anyone that has competed before or has considered competing to join us in our first annual Starting Strength Plano Peak Week!

    Details:
    To give your training focus and enjoy in the celebration of setting new PR’s you will work with your coach to pick a date between December 13th - 19th to perform a mock meet during your regularly scheduled class times.
    The mock meet will consist of three heavy singles on the squat, press, and deadlift progressing in weight on each single. Your coach will help you pick an effective strategy for selecting your attempts.
    Log your successful attempts in your logbook along with your current weight. Your coach will give you a white light (successful attempt) or red light (no lift) based on the general rules of competition (squats below parallel, press locks out with straight elbows, etc). Straps for the deadlift will be permitted.
    Entry fee of $20 gets you a sweet Starting Strength Dallas Peak Week T-shirt and the chance of bragging rights for the rest of the year!
    Winners will receive a free Starting Strength Dallas pint glass based on a coefficient (wilks) that allows us to compare lifters across all weight classes.
